Daughter Dalloway
By Emily France
A retelling of Virginia Woolf’s classic Mrs. Dalloway, from the point of view of the famous socialite’s only child, Elizabeth
It is 1952 and forty six year old Elizabeth Dalloway feels she has failed at most everything in life, especially living up to her perfect mother the elegant Mrs. Dalloway, the woman who never arrived for her very own party at the end of the 1923 season. And hasn’t been heard from since.
Elizabeth has given up ever nding out what really happened that summer until she comes across a WWI medal inscribed with a mysterious message from her mother to a soldier, Septimus Warren Smith.
Faithful to the original yet fully standing alone, Daughter Dalloway follows Elizabeth as she discovers the truth: though decades have passed and opportunities for women have changed, expectations haven’t: to be it all, whatever the costs. And that she shares much more with her mother than she ever knew.
EMILY FRANCE is a graduate of Brown University and is the critically acclaimed author of several books. Her young adult titles, Zen and Gone and Signs of You, were selected as a Washington Post Best Book of the Month and an Apple Books Best of the Month. Daughter Dalloway is her adult debut.

Hurt You
By Marie Myung-Ok Lee
After moving to a new suburb, a Korean-American teen must ght to protect herself and her neuroatypical older brother from a hostile community in this tragic story of bigotry and gun violence.
“Marie Myung-Ok Lee’s books were so important to me and to many Asian American kids. These books gave us representation, along with so much heart and imagination. I loved them.”
Tae Keller, author of When You Trap a Tiger, praise for the author
“As she did in her previous novel, Finding My Voice, Ms. Lee, a Korean American, deals with the subject of racism in a way that is both explicit and sensitive.”
New York Times on If It Hadn’t Been for Yoon Jun
A stunning YA homage to Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men by superstar Marie Myung Ok Lee (author of the classic Finding My Voice), perfect for fans of Jennifer Niven and Marieke Nijkamp
Hurt You explores the sibling bond of Georgia, sister to Leo who has a neurological disability that resembles autism Suddenly unmoored from the familiar, Georgia struggles to nd her place in an Asian majority school where whites still dominate culturally.

Hurt You re ects statistics that a person with intellectual disability is much more likely to be a victim, not a perpetrator, of violent crimes, despite enduring stereotypes that they are the ones who should be feared. MARIE MYUNG-OK LEE is the author of Somebody’s Daughter, the YA novel Finding My Voice (heralded as the rst Korean American #ownvoices novel for teens), and middle grade novels If It Hadn’t Been for Yoon Jun and Night of the Chupacabras Her books have won awards such as Friends of American Writers, New York Public Library’s Best Books for the Teen Age, and NCTE’s Children’s Choice.

“Veciana-Suarez is a wise, honest, and astonishingly perceptive writer who looks at every life and nds gentle humor and truth.”

Despite Miguel’s entreaties, Dolça, with her love of luxury and her devotion to her art, refused to upend her life for him, although she always welcomed his attentions on her own terms. However, when Miguel renders her as the lowly Dulcinea in his great Quixote, creating a scandal and revealing their association, he commits an unforgivable offense and their decades long affinity is severed, until he reaches out to her one last time.
